Powertrain Options and Availability
Mazda's dual-overhead-cam, 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine produced 140 horsepower until 2001, when it got a boost to 142--not 155, as early announcements stated. A five-speed manual transmission was standard, with 4-speed automatic optional. A 6-speed manual gearbox could go into the LS edition.
